According to *The Straits Times*, Malaysia's Public Service Department has updated the rules for civil servants regarding shareholding and asset declarations, officially including digital assets under regulatory oversight. The new regulations state that civil servants cannot hold more than 5% of a Malaysian-registered company's paid-up capital or a value of 300,000 MYR (approximately $70,000 USD), whichever is lower. The total value of shares held must also not exceed 300,000 MYR. If these limits are exceeded, approval must be sought from designated officials. This adjustment comes in the wake of public discussions sparked by the shareholding controversy involving former Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Azam Baki. https://(wublock123.com)/news/malaysia-updates-civil-servant-asset-declaration-includes-digital-assets-63128
